First "It Girl Essentials" Winner Named after National Search
RARITAN, N.J., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The first in a series of winners of a nationwide search to identify real-life "It Girls" who embody confidence and reliability was announced today on http://www.thepill.com. As part of the Millennial generation, the finalists proved that intelligence, reliability, talent and a passion to serve, ranked as the top priorities for this much talked about group. The "It Girl Essentials" contest, sponsored by Ortho Women's Health & Urology(TM), maker of ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN(R) LO (norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol), was designed to recognize exceptional young women, between the ages of 18-24, whose interests range from politics to education, from social responsibility to personal health.
"We've all read about the infamous 'It Girls' -- the young women whose time in the limelight is defined as much by their very public personal struggles, as by their achievements and accolades," said Jane Buckingham, national women's trend expert, author of The Modern Girl's Guide series and judge in the national search. "However, the winners of the 'It Girl Essentials' contest exemplify a whole new generation of women who are concerned, active and effective in their communities and in their world."
Meet August's "It Girl": Nicoletta Bumbac -- A Passionate Advocate for Children
Millennials have been labeled the first female-dominant generation in U.S. history, led by a female-majority in undergraduate institutions,(1) as well as increasing voter turnout for single women ages 18-24.(2) Nicoletta Bumbac was selected as the first ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN(R) LO "It Girl" because she is a strong representation of how members of her generation are looking to make a positive impact in our world.

Pfanner, Nikolaus and Hartl, Franz-Ulrich and Guiard, Bernard and Neupert, Walter (1987): Mitochondrial precursor proteins are imported through a hydrophilic membrane environment. In: European Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 169, No. 2: pp. 289-293 |
572kB |
We have analyzed how translocation intermediates of imported mitochondrial precursor proteins, which span contact sites, interact with the mitochondrial membranes. F1-ATPase subunit β(F1β) was trapped at contact sites by importing it into Neurospora mitochondria in the presence of low levels of nucleoside triphosphates. This F1β translocation intermediate could be extracted from the membranes by treatment with protein denaturants such as alkaline pH or urea. By performing import at low temperatures, the ADP/ATP carrier was accumulated in contact sites of Neurospora mitochondria and cytochrome b2 in contact sites of yeast mitochondria. These translocation intermediates were also extractable from the membranes at alkaline pH. Thus, translocation of precursor proteins across mitochondrial membranes seems to occur through an environment which is accessible to aqueous perturbants. We propose that proteinaceous structures are essential components of a translocation apparatus present in contact sites.

Don't Refinance ARMs in the Short Term
Email Print |
However, in the long run, we're all dead – as economists like to say. But this is one of the first times I've read in an article where the expert is advising that someone in an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) not refinance the loan (the circumstances make this the correct advice). The situation is this: 1/5 ARM at 4.5%, adjusting in 2009 with a maximum annual increase of 2.0% and a maximum interest rate of 9.9%. The advice by Dr. Don (who has an impressive alphabet soup of degrees after his name) is that if that person is there for the "short term" (3-5 years) then leave it be, otherwise refinance at the roughly 7% interest rates for a 30-year fixed loan.
It's a rough approximation, but if your loan balance is currently $100,000, refinancing a 4.5 percent loan three years before it becomes an 8.5 percent loan costs you $8,000 per year over the next three years. That's $24,000 plus closing costs. Refinancing today at 7 percent will cost you an additional $7,500 over the next three years, versus the existing mortgage, plus closing costs. The interest expense is scalable, so a $200,000 loan balance would be twice as much plus closing costs.
So it's a closing vosts vs. increase interest rate decision that puts you in the no-refinance camp if the adjustment doesn't come for another three years, what (and the Bankrate article doesn't address this) if the ARM readjusts this year?
Well, using Dinkytown.net's ARM vs Fixed Mortgage calculator, the difference in the payment between a 30-year 7% fixed mortgage and an ARM (which was set for 4.5% for 12 months, then adjusted the max of 2% each year until 9.99%) on a $100,000 mortgage loan was:
Four year totals: | 30-year fixed | ARM | Difference |
Interest | $27,409.07 | $28,641.22 | -$1,232.15 |
Principal | $4,525.33 | $4,441.94 | $83.39 |
Total | $31,934.40 | $33,083.16 | -$1148.76 |
So over 4 years, you pay only $1148.76 less on a fixed mortgage at 7% than you do on a 1/5 ARM adjusting in 12 months. I can guarantee you can't refinance your mortgage for less than $1148.76. Let's look at the numbers for the life of the loan (30 years):
Four year totals: | 30-year fixed | ARM | Difference |
Interest | $139,510.98 | $200,810.05 | -$61,299.07 |
Principal | $100,000.00 | $100,000.00 | $0.00 |
Total | $239,510.98 | $300,810.05 | -$61,299.07 |
So, if you're in it for the 30-year long haul… refinance, otherwise you can sit tight. Incidentally, at 3 years and 7 months is when your ARM payment will exceed your fixed 30-year mortgage payment.

What's more, Eastwood has always played the dinosaur, and from the general lack of sharpness in nearly every aspect of the film, it seems as if he is almost as bored with this idea as we are. Nearly every aspect of the picture feels recycled. The scenes of agitated bantering between Everett and his editor are macho pissing contests of the sort that we used to see when Eastwood was called on the carpet as a detective by a higher-ranking officer who is sick and tired of watching him turn the streets of the city into a shooting gallery. Throughout all this, the only emotion Everett shows is irritation. During the jailhouse interview he has with Beachum, he seems completely indifferent to the answers Beachum gives. When Beachum and his wife ask whether he believes their story, Everett turns around and growls back his answer. It's as if Everett had an afternoon tee-time and the interview was causing him to be late.
The whole project feels lazy and half-hearted, not least of all the finale, in which Everett tries to beat the clock by driving the woman who has the one piece of evidence that might save Beachum to the governor's house so that he can make that all-important, last-minute call to the prison before the clock ticks its last tock. By that point, though, whatever it was they were pumping into Beachum's arm looked mighty good to me.
True Crime.
Directed by Clint Eastwood. Written by Larry Gross, Paul Brickman, and Stephen Shiff. Starring Eastwood, James Woods, Isaiah Washington, Denis Leary, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Penny Rae Bridges, and Diane Venora. Opens Friday.

Secure SSH
Posted by ashwoods on Mon 30 Oct 2006 at 15:52
SSH is not only the secure replacement for rlogin, rsh and telnet, which has been used in the past to do remote administration work, but there are also neat tricks like port forwarding, vpn tunneling and file transfers that you can do with minimal configuration work, leaving only one port open to the internets.
If you keep your SSH server up to date and choose your passwords wisely, you can sleep well at night without worrying about all those script kiddies and bots scanning your ports and attacking your SSH server with brute force or dictionary attacks.
You will however see constant attacks in your logs like these:
Oct 20 16:03:51 server02 sshd[26405]: Illegal user ftpuser from ::ffff:184.108.40.206
Oct 20 16:03:52 server02 sshd[26407]: Illegal user ftpuser from ::ffff:18.104.22.168
Oct 20 16:03:53 server02 sshd[26409]: Illegal user ftpuser from ::ffff:18.104.22.168
Oct 20 16:03:54 server02 sshd[26411]: Illegal user ftpuser from ::ffff:22.214.171.124
Oct 20 16:03:56 server02 sshd[26413]: Illegal user ftpuser from ::ffff:126.96.36.199
This doesn't mean a hacker is trying to break in using some SSH exploit, these are normally automated attempts from zombie bots or script kiddies with dictionary attacks to break into your system, sometimes using virus infested machines to do the work. You can get hundreds of attempts every day, and this might make you feel a little bit uneasy.
Even if SSH is very secure out of the box, there are several things you can do to make it more secure and avoid all those emails logs full of bot attacks, without having to configure a full blown IDS system. The following tips apply to OpenSSH on a debian system, but should be very similar in other systems.
How you secure SSH will depend on your specific needs, so the first step is to consider your current use of SSH. Are you a roadwarrior and connecting to your servers from different computers or IP addresses, do all the users of the system really need SSH?
It is better to make the changes locally, as you might lock yourself out while reconfiguring your network.
Step 1 : Secure the default SSH configuration.
You can find more detailed information on debiansec or OpenSSH, this basic steps are:
a) Don't allow root to remote login
PermitRootLogin no
It is safer to login as another user and use su.
b) Limit the users or groups that can login in remotely.
AllowUsers me
AllowGroups mygroup
DenyUsers paul
DenyGroups paulsgroup
Unless you are a ISP you can normally limit the users that can login to a few. You can also limit your users to certain machines or hosts.
c) Allow only Protocol 2:
Protocol 2
Protocol 1 is less secure and obsolete.
d) Use PubkeyAuthentication authentication instead of passwords:
PubkeyAuthenticationPasswordAuthentication No
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
Instead of using a password to login, a keypair is placed on the server and the client. The client can prompt for a paraphrase, but no password is sent over the network. If you connect from several computers, you have to have the key on each one or carry it around in a USB stick. Howto configure.
e) Change the default port 22 to something higher
Port 2899
I consider this security by obscurity. This makes it only one step "harder" for a determined hacker (all he has to do is scan your ports), but it does help with most automated bot attacks, most scripts check only for port 22 because scanning ports is time consuming. This trick alone will empty most of your logs of attack junk.
f) don't listen on all addresses if posible:
ListenAddress 192.168.1.5
Step 2: Re-configure your firewall - block those connections in the first place
There are several ways of doing this. The easiest way is to limit connections to certain IP's or subnets. This may not be practical if you are constantly on the road and need SSH access, more complex set ups like port knocking are also possible.
a) configure your firewall to allow only certain IP's (or subnets) if posible.
b) install some nice brute force attack detectors - there are several packages that can detect a brute force attack and block those IP's automatically.
On debian I use the aptable denyhosts python script, that automatically blocks ssh brute-force attacks by adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny. You do have to check if you are not blocking legitimate IP's, attacks can be spoofed or come from an innocent virus infested machine.
Other similar programs update your iptables configuration, like apf + bfd, that scan your log files for breakin attempts and create automatic rules blocking the IP of the attacker.
Step 3: Extra security - One time passwords and port knocking
The steps mentioned above will clear up your logs and make your system more secure. But there are certain scenarios that could benefit from some extra security work. If you have many users that must have access from anywhere in the world (including unsecured computers), and having them carry their key in a USB stick is not practical, you can make them use one time passwords, libpam-opie:
Use OPIE one time passwords for PAM authentication. A one time password is useful to avoid having your password sniffed and reused if you log in via an unencrypted channel or from a compromised system. The PAM module enables OPIE for programs such as SSH which use PAM for authentication.
Sounds interesting, but I have never set this up myself, and even if OPIE passwords are really good against keyloggers, I prefer using key-host based authentication.
Another very interesting concept is Port Knocking:
port knocking is a method of externally opening ports on a firewall by generating a connection attempt on a set of prespecified closed ports. Once a correct sequence of connection attempts is received the firewall rules are dynamically modified to allow the host which sent the connection attempts to connect over specified port(s)
In other words, your SSH port is closed, until you send a specific secret combination of packets. So even a hacker would have a hard time finding your SSH port in the first place.
Here is a list of several port knocking implementations, and a here's a shorewall config.
Some extra advice!
This advice concerns linux security in general, most people are lazy so I will repeat them.
Enforce good passwords: install libpam_cracklib: a PAM module that tests passwords to make sure they are not too weak during password change.
Read your logs! Install logcheck and/or logrotate to make your log reading life easier.
Keep your system up-to-date! For non-critical debian systems you can use something like unattended-upgrades to keep the security packages updates automatic.
There are several packages that can improve security with little effort: tiger, harden, bastille and a firewall of choice.
**** Disclaimer: Do I really need this? I am not an expert, so read all the docs anyways.***
Am I missing anything?

... is in my experience sufficient to block practically all brute force attacks.
After installing the rules, to test they're working try something like this:
$ for f in `seq 5` ; do echo $f ; echo Hello | nc localhost 22 ; done 1 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-3 Protocol mismatch. 2 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-3 Protocol mismatch. 3 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-3 Protocol mismatch. 4 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-3 Protocol mismatch. 5
^^ observe that it should just silently hang at the 5th connection attempt. After one minute, you should be able to ssh into localhost again.

btw, does anybody know of a resource for blacklists to block IPs geographically?
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
iptable -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW \ -m limit --limit 3/min --limit-burst 3 -j ACCEPT iptable -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state \ --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptable -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 22 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
It is very simple, fast and works great on many services.

It also can be used to monitor other services (apache, *ftpd, etc) to react (ban) abuser's IP

but it should say: PubkeyAuthentication Yes
to enable public key authentication.
Also, this site has excellent articles and comments on topic already:
Brute Force Protection with BlockHosts
Automatically Blocking SSH Attackes From Script Kiddies?
Keeping SSH access secure
My favorite tweak is the fail2ban package mentioned in the articles above.
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
I know there are several articles out there about securing SSH, but I wanted to make ONE article where 'everything' is in one place. I did not intend to explain the use of each program or configuration file, so I provide plenty of links :)
never used fail2ban, will try it out, but it essentially works as the two log viewers I already mentioned. Will include it after I play with it a little :)

i use opie and it has its good & bad points.
+ calculators are available for PDAs
+ responses can be printed/written and physically secured
+ avoids key loggers
- on most public systems where i would fear a key logger, ssh w/ opie is thwarted in other ways (windows box w/o putty, http outbound connectivity only; not insurmountable problems, but large enough hurdles to sufficiently discourage)
- requires calculator or preprinted list of responses
- other ways to avoid key loggers in graphical environments (on-screen keyboard, cut & paste, etc)
- subject to brute force attacks because the "count" is not decremented by an incorrect password (but denial of service attacks would be possible with the alternative)
- uses md5 which is being attacked academically, but will eventually succumb practically
- requires ssh & pam configuration tricks to disallow passwords but accept OTP responses (if you want to only accept OTP to avoid password-based brute force attempts)
- requires use of OTPs everywhere (or how comfortable are you with someone knowing your root password after you log in and su to root, even though you've disallowed root login in ssh)
don't let that list discourage you, but just be aware of the problems so you can minimize them ("...because knowing is half the battle!" ;-)

To do this, edit /etc/passwd and do the following change:
Just change the last bit:
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
With NIS, it was very esay. You have juste do write a line in /etc/passwd of that kind
And on that computer and only that computer, you replace the shell !
You could do the same on a group, juste change 'user_name' by '@group'.
I do no know howto do this with OpenLDAP and all my users are in ldap.
In a more general way, i would like to have a filter on the result of an LDAP request depend on many parameters like the IP address, the username...

Just the other day when the naming scheme for the new Nvidia Fermi cards was announced, we speculated that supply would be very low at launch. As such prices could be high. Now we're hearing that is likely the case. Sources in the graphics manufacturing market have indicated that the new GTX 470 and 480 will be in very short supply at launch. In fact, the cards may only be available through select companies close to Nvidia. This may mean that only companies that do not sell AMD parts will have access to the GF100 cores at launch.
As for price, Nvidia is said to be aiming for numbers well above AMD's current line. The GTX 470 may retail for $499, and the GTX 480 could go for an eye-popping $680 at launch. For perspective, AMD's Radeon HD 5970 dual GPU card tops out at only $599 MSRP.
The real bummer here is that high priced Nvidia cards would probably give AMD no reason to cut prices. Even if the Fermi cards are substantially faster, very few people will be dropping almost $700 on a GPU. Sure, these are new flagship parts, but is the price justified? If you've been waiting for Fermi, are you still in? Is it better to go AMD, or wait for lower end Fermi cards?

The non-profit Master Farm Homemakers Guild is an honorary association of approximately 160 farm women who have demonstrated noteworthy leadership and community involvement. Wallace's Farmer inducts four women annually from a pool of women nominated by community groups across the state. The Guild celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1992 by creating a video "Celebrating Farm Homemaking."
In the spring of 1996, they determined to expand their efforts to publicize the history of the Master Farm Homemakers in Iowa. With a grant from the Iowa Humanities Board, they created a travelling exhibit of photographs, biographies and history of selected farm homemakers through the last century. This exhibit, entitled "Bridging the Generations: The Lives and Contributions of Rural Iowa Women," will be on display in various towns across the state in the coming years.

Thiruvananthapuram: After a former nun dropped a bombshell by revealing in her autobiography about the sexual abuse and mental harassment nuns go through in the Catholic Church, a sitting cardinal has written a book in which he says many nuns are ill-treated.
The book titled Straight from the Heart by Varkey Vidayathil talks about how a section of the priests treat the nuns making them wash their clothes and cook food, all without any pay.
The biographer who is also the spokesperson of the Catholic Bishops' Council says he has penned down exactly what the cardinal has told him.
"In many of the bishop conferences he has heard such complaints coming up and even though they are rare they are surely happening. That is what he has said in the book," says Syro-malabar church spokesperson Paul Thellekat.
Last year, a study by the Catholic Church found that 25 per cent of the nuns in Kerala were unhappy with life inside the four walls of a convent. This book Straight From The Heart confirms the result of that study.
"I would say to a great extent our nuns are not emancipated women. They are often kept under submission by the fear of revenge by priests. That's how the priests get away with whatever humiliation they heap upon them," says Major Archbishop of Syro-Malabar church, Cardinal Varkey Vidayathil.
The bishop also says in his biography that there is a lot the church and the communists can do together for the common man, an argument that has not gone down well with pastrol council which feels such comments will certainly misguide the Christian voters to the CPM's advantage in an election year.
But on the issue of nuns, even the pastoral council maintains a long silence, perhaps it is time for the church in Kerala to introspect.

Oregon HOME | LAWS | ORGANIZATIONS | CASES | LEGISLATION | HEADLINES | COMMON CORE |
Nearly every year, Home School Legal Defense Association hears from member families who have received a letter from their Education Service District (ESD) demanding that standardized test results be submitted by a certain date. This year the Northwest Regional ESD has demanded that test results be submitted by August 31, 2006.
In their request, the Northwest Regional ESD threatened families who fail to submit their test results by this date with a class C violation citation and fine. In addition, Northwest stated that they would notify the resident school district of the homeschool programs' "noncompliance."
After receiving a copy of this letter, we immediately contacted the superintendent of the Northwest Regional ESD and pointed out that under Oregon law there is no deadline for the submission of these test results. Oregon Administrative Rules, chapter 581, rule 581-021-0026 only requires a parent to administer the test no later than August 15 and submit the results if they are requested by the ESD.
In our opinion, an ESD has no legal authority to set a date when the test results must be submitted, let alone threaten parents with court action if they fail to comply with a nonexistent deadline. If you have an approved test administered by August 15 you should submit the results when you receive them and have been requested by the ESD to do so.
We expect the Northwest Regional ESD to back down from their demand for all results to be submitted by August 31. HSLDA is committed to defending any member family whose results will be delayed beyond any "deadline" set by their local ESD.

Gardening has been linked to improved health, increased memory retention, and positive outlook. Connects with nature and enjoy the beauty as you plant and tend. Whether you are a Budding Genius or a novice, the Community Garden Club of Meredith welcomes you to sample a great list of seasonal programs.
The Community Garden Club of Meredith's first gathering of the season is Thursday, May 15 to The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm located at 58 Cleveland Hill Road in Tamworth. Members and guests are invited to meet at the Meredith Community Center parking lot to carpool at 11:15.
The Remick Museum and Farm is an example of more than 200 years of self-sustained living preserving the agricultural way of life in New Hampshire. The mission is to educate a broad and diverse public to the value and significance of the medical practice and agricultural way of life of the Country Doctor and to preserve and interpret the Remick property and collections for the benefit of the public.

After lunch, there will be a brief presentation on the historic use of plants and how they are used in the present day on the farm and in the gardens. There will be plenty of time to explore the grounds and garden.

Kristin Hopkins, 43, of Highland Ranch was rescued Sunday afternoon after a group of hikers reported seeing a body in a car. She had been reported missing last Tuesday.
Park County Undersheriff Monte Gore said Hopkins was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Lakeview, Colo. He said she was critically dehydrated.
Investigators believe Hopkins was on U.S. 285 when her car left the roadway, went down an 80-foot embankment and ended up in an aspen grove about 140 feet from the highway. The road goes through Red Hill Pass, a Rocky Mountain corridor more than 10,000 feet above sea level north of Fairplay, Colo., and about 70 miles southwest of Denver.
Several agencies cooperated in removing Hopkins from the wreck. Jim Cravener, a firefighter, said Hopkins used an umbrella in an effort to attract attention.
"It appeared she had written notes on an umbrella, that she could get out of the vehicle and open the umbrella, hoping somebody from the highway would see it," Cravener told KMGH-Denver.

Tobacco cessation codes
What do I need to do to get paid for smoking and tobacco cessation education using codes 99406 and 99407? Are modifiers necessary? What are the documentation requirements?
Codes 99406 and 99407 replaced G0375 and G0376, which previously were used to report these services. You must document the following:
The patient's tobacco use;
The patient's conditions adversely affected by tobacco use or the therapeutic agent affected by tobacco use;
The amount of time spent on tobacco cessation counseling and the context in which it was provided.
The code should be selected based on the amount of time devoted to the counseling; use 99406 for 3 to 10 minutes or 99407 for more than 10 minutes. When providing these services on the same date as a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management (E/M) service, append modifier 25 to the E/M service code. For additional information, a coding reference is provided online through AAFP's Ask and Act program at www.aafp.org/tobacco (click "Reimbursement/Payment" on the left side on the Web page).
Specimen transfer to lab
What code should we report for obtaining a blood specimen or culture in the office and preparing it for transfer to the lab?
Code 36415 may be reported for collection of venous blood by venipuncture, and code 36416 may be used for collection of capillary blood specimen (e.g., a finger or heel stick). You can report CPT code 99000, "Handling and/or conveyance of specimen for transfer from the physician's office to a laboratory," to represent the work and cost you incur preparing a specimen for transport (e.g., centrifuging, separating serum and labeling tubes). However, many payers do not allow separate payment for the services 99000 describes because they consider these services to be incidental to other services on the same date. Check with the health plans you contract with to learn their payment policies for this code.
Home health services
When I perform home health certification or recertification (codes G0180 and G0179), I document how much time I spend developing or reassessing the care plan, the patient's diagnosis and the treatment plan. For auditing purposes, do I also need to save a copy of the certification statement that I signed, or does the note in my electronic health record (EHR) suffice?
The documentation in your EHR may be enough for auditing purposes, but I recommend keeping a copy of any document that you sign and send out. This gives you more information to justify the services you provided, and it is a record of what was on the document when it left your office. If possible, scan the document into your EHR for more efficient filing. Note that documenting the time you spend on these services is not required.
Diagnosis code for prothrombin time testing
What is the correct diagnosis coding associated with in-office prothrombin time lab testing for a patient who is taking an anticoagulant?
Because the reason for the test is therapeutic drug monitoring, the primary diagnosis code would be V58.83, "Encounter for therapeutic drug monitoring." ICD-9 instructs providers to use an additional code for any long-term (current) drug use, in this case V58.61, "Long-term (current) use of anticoagulants." Related comorbid conditions may also be coded (such as V43.3 for a heart valve replaced by means other than transplant).
Hospital discharge when the patient dies
Can I bill a discharge code if the patient dies while in the hospital?
CPT allows the reporting of discharge services when the patient dies in the hospital. The Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual states, "Reasonable and necessary medical services rendered up to and including pronouncement of death by a physician are covered diagnostic or therapeutic services." Medicare requires that you provide a face-to-face service even if it is to pronounce the death.
Hepatitis test
If a patient is tested for hepatitis because of possible exposure during a needle stick one year ago, what is the appropriate diagnosis code?
In addition to reporting diagnosis code V73.99, which represents screening for unspecified viral disease, you might report V15.85, which identifies "Exposure to potentially hazardous body fluids." Additionally, code E920.5 indicates the exposure was related to a hypodermic needle stick. It is important to include the date of the accident on the claim to identify that the injury is not current. If the injury were current, a code identifying the site of an open wound might also be reported (e.g., 883.0, "Open wound of finger(s); without mention of complication").
Nebulizer supplies
Is it appropriate to bill for the tubing and/or disposable mouthpiece used for nebulizer treatments in the office?
Like sutures and bandages, these supplies are considered incidental to the physician's service and are not typically paid for in addition to the nebulizer treatments.

Conviction is upheld in 1974 murder of Prairie Village girl
The conviction of a former school janitor imprisoned in the 1974 murder of a Prairie Village girl was upheld Friday by the Kansas Supreme Court.
John Henry Horton, now 67, is serving a life sentence in the death of 13-year-old Lizabeth Wilson.
Johnson County juries have convicted Horton twice in the killing, which went unsolved for decades before the case was reopened and new evidence was uncovered. Horton's first conviction in 2004 was overturned on appeal.
After he was convicted in 2008, the Supreme Court ordered the case back to Johnson County to consider Horton's motion for a new trial. The denial of that motion was the basis for Friday's ruling that upheld the conviction and life sentence.
Horton was a custodian at Shawnee Mission East High School in the summer of 1974. Lizabeth disappeared after she was seen walking home through the school parking lot. Her remains were found several months later in Lenexa.

Best William Morrissey Poems
Darfur, Sudan Yet again, there is a great deal of madness As the entire world is filled with sadness And men raise arms against each other They fight as if they have no mother Two hundred, thousand dead and the world stand still in silence As Darfur is overwhelmed with blood and violence Someone should take a stand These people need a helping hand The warring factions are seriously misled They move around in circles as if energized by horror and more bloodshed To kill and drink the blood of hate As they hope to gain a better fate The United Nations seem to have no power But it is time to act within this hour So that all nations great and small Should answer to this most serious call If people could see the future of this time And is able to read each other's mind Then the planet could see it's greatest calm Or the Earth rebels and do us harm William Morrissey 1/29/07
